Comes the fifth generation of the compact Subaru Impreza (model 2017), which introduces a modular platform that will use future models of the manufacturer. It has two distinct body styles, hatchback and sedan type. With the now classic boxer engines and all-wheel drive Subaru Impreza improved interior quality and safe manning.

The Subaru Impreza 2017 was finally discovered in the Hall of New York , after two separatenotices in prototype form representing the body of a compact five – door in Tokyo and a few weeks later a three volumes in Los Angeles (Impreza Sedan Concept).

it is no coincidence that Subaru has chosen the United States and his native Japan, the two markets which will start later this year the commercial life of the fifth – generation Impreza. The new model has as main novelty that launches a modular platform that will give life to future passenger cars and off – road brand.

The new platform , combined with a boxer engine, permanent all -wheel drive (AWD) and an independent rear suspension, increases structural rigidity in more than 70%, lowers the center of gravity and inertia reduces by 50% over the outgoing model. In addition, Subaru says, the linear stability of the new Impreza it is better than before.

The Subaru Impreza 2017 will have two different bodies , with both sharing the same battle (2.67 meters) , width (1.78 m) and height (1, 46 m). However, the length varies considerablmente, settling the Impreza 5 – door with a length of 4.46 meters long by 4.63 meters in an Impreza sedan that extends its rear overhang. Without knowing its inner capacity, which itself seen from the photographs is better care of the interior, both in materials and overall presentation.

As expected, the 2017 Impreza borrows a handful of styling cues from the two Impreza concepts shown last year in Tokyo and in Los Angeles, respectively. The sharp-looking hexagonal grille with wing-like inserts has been retained, but the lights on both ends have been significantly toned down for the production model. Subaru promises we’ll see both the hatchback and the sedan body styles displayed in New York, though it has only published pictures of the latter for the time being.

Sober (not spartan), the dashboard is well organized thanks to a touch screen eight inches which includes a multimedia system compatabile Android Auto and Apple carplay. Also, another gain of this fifth generation of the Impreza is in the equipment active safety.Thanks to the technology EyeSight assistance Subaru Impreza 2017 has elements such as emergency braking, the adaptive cruise control, automatic switching of lights, the object detector in blind and maintenance control path.
